For the bottom of the bag, write a rectangle of 49 x 22 cm on paper. Draw in each case a center line in height and width. On the narrow sides of the rectangle, round off the corners to create an oblong oval (circumference approx. 113 cm).

Tip: Use a saucer to mark the curves. Cut out the shape.

For all dimensions of the blank, approx. 1 cm seam allowance is included in each case.

4. Cut this rectangle to 26 x 113 cm.

5. Repackage the rectangle 3 cm on one side and hem.
